		David McTaggart, who died in a car crash near his home in Umbria on Friday aged 68, was one of the first to respond to the call to the Greenpeace flag in the early 70s.
		McTaggart epitomised all of those qualities, but relentlessly and sometimes ruthlessly determined in the early years that Greenpeace should be an international body with strong central organisation (not to say control) in the hands of a small number of people working within a powerful code.
		David McTaggart was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on June 24, 1932.

		McTaggart was raised on one of the small barrier islands near Vancouver where his childhood pursuits included rowing, sailing and fishing as well as various sports.
		McTaggart and his fellow activists renamed their coalition Greenpeace, and after repairing his ship, McTaggart returned to Mururoa the next year when the French were to resume their nuclear test plans.
		When McTaggart attempted to present documents from the authorities in New Zealand affirming his maritime rights, he was apprehended and assaulted by French military personnel, who later claimed that McTaggart was injured and his ship destroyed in an at-sea catastrophe, but had been rescued by their Navy ships.

	David McTaggart Award
		In 1972, while sailing his yacht in the southern Pacific, David McTaggart answered an advertisement by an organization called "Greenpeace." It was asking for volunteers to sail to Mururoa, an isolated atoll, to protest the atmospheric atomic tests France had been conducting there since 1966.
		McTaggart's life was tied to Greenpeace and to the environmental movement, transforming what had been a fairly obscure organization opposing American nuclear tests in the Amchitka Islands off the Western coast of Alaska into a world wide environmental watchdog.
		David McTaggart continued to be Greenpeace's honorary chairman in the 1990s but, with his health failing, he retired to an olive farm in Umbria, where he produced organic olive oil and directed a small environment foundation.

	David Fraser McTaggart 1932 - 2001
		McTaggart lived his life at a time when the human world was destroying its home, the natural world, at an unprecedented rate and to a suicidal degree.
		McTaggart was one of those who inspired this in Greenpeace by his personal actions, such as sailing on his little ship the Vega to oppose the last atmospheric nuclear test in the world, in the Pacific.
		McTaggart's tally of environmental achievements is impressive in a conventional sense.

		BY This is how strange life is. The first time I met David McTaggart was a dark and stormy night in East Vancouver, where I lived with my first wife, Zoe, an anti-nuke activist I had met in London the winter after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
		A former badminton world champion, David had seen an ad in a New Zealand newspaper soliciting volunteers to sail into the forbidden zone around the South Pacific atoll where French atmospheric nuclear tests were taking place.
		At David's memorial, I found myself thinking how strange and sad it was that Ben Metcalfe was not among those present paying their respects or at least observing the passing of one of our most important peers.

		Under its recently departed guru, David McTaggart, 59, the $157 million (1990 revenues) Greenpeace became a skillfully managed business, mastering the tools of direct mail and image manipulation--and indulging in forms of lobbying that would bring instant condemnation if practiced by a for-profit corporation.
		People who knew McTaggart in his earlier life say he was a failed real estate promoter who left investors and relatives in the lurch and departed before his projects failed (see page X).
		By then McTaggart was active in Greenpeace's European operation, and he was famous for having been beaten by French agents when he tried to interfere, with a French nuclear test.

		McTaggart was also a driving force behind Greenpeace campaigns to save the whales, to stop the dumping of nuclear waste in the ocean, to block the production of toxic wastes, to end nuclear testing, and to protect the Antarctic continent from oil and mineral exploitation.

		David and Peter (who played just the same role as co-founder and Chairman in WWF as David did in Greenpeace) had enormous mutual respect, admiration and affection for each other although they were so different in many ways, and they worked closely together with behind the scenes lobbying in the IWC and the Antarctic Treaty.
		David was devastated by Peter's death and although he had flown to London especially to attend the service, could only face the occasion by getting totally drunk, which I suppose caused some raised eyebrows.
		David tried hard: there was this small inn at the end of the valley, where every day for lunch he took a number of trustees to lobby for this project.
